Random thoughts from a few cantankerous American physicians. All contributors are board certified. Various specialties are represented here. I do not know where this will lead but hope it will at least be an enjoyable read. All of the names mentioned in this blog are pseudonyms, the ages have been changed, and in half the cases the gender as well. All photographs are published with patient consent or are digitally altered to preserve anonymity. Trust us, we're doctors.

911You saw this coming some time ago! What a sad state of affairs that even with this article there are bloggers who continue to disparage doctors, their incomes...even going so far as to continue to say they are making too much $. When will people learn? They won't.

dear anonymous,i'm very busy buying guns and building the bunker. actually, i started MDOD as a means to vent and a means to get a doctor's perspective on health care out there. i think i did that for a few years. now i'm out of the game and have no desire to go back. i have no passion for medicine or, more correctly, no anger about it. it was a beautiful and magnificent profession for a long time. i have no desire to chronicle its demise. i am considering closing up shop here, but thank you for your kind comment.best911

911If you choose to do that I understand. I selfishly hope that you will let us know when you might decide not to post any longer. In my family, having had a situation much like yours, it sort of gave some hope tothe ups and downs of all of this, but as you have so aptly noted, medicine is not what it was.
